QuickFrame 101
The Problem
Traditional video creation is slow, inefficient, and expensive.
At the same time, the demand for video is exploding as we search for entertainment and connection in the digital realm. Marketers are faced with a unique challenge: the need to reach their audience is more dire than ever with competition at an all-time high, yet consumers are increasingly dispersed across a growing list of platforms, apps, and devices. Video needs to be scalable across all of these environments so advertisers can reach their target audiences in the right place, at the right time, and with the right message.
Where QuickFrame Comes In
QuickFrame provides video buyers (brands/companies/organizations) with access to a global network of experienced makers (production companies and skilled individuals). We have experts in every video style across all platforms, so buyers get the right creative for any audience or moment along the path-to-purchase.
We broke down traditional video production and did away with the clutter. We precisely capture each buyer’s vision and brand values from the start. Ambiguity is eliminated so buyers get on-brand video that’s exactly what they pictured in their head. And because we’ve streamlined pre-production processes and operate with low overhead, we’re able to deliver video at a lower cost compared to traditional options.
For Increased Flexibility
We are able to use the shift in the industry (increased demand for video) to offer you a more rapid and reliable stream of work. We have cut out the fluff and templatized tedious processes, so you can work faster and more efficiently. You no longer have to consistently be on the search for your next projects—we’ll bring them to you.
What makes QuickFrame Different?
QuickFrame is not an agency and is different from any other production platforms. QuickFrame does not handle any creative in house, so we are looking to our makers for all aspects of production. QuickFrame will also never ask you to do work for a project that you have not yet been assigned to and every project application will be reviewed in depth by a member of the Maker Team.
